A certain disease affects about 1 out of 10, 000 people. There is a test to check whether the personhas the disease. The test is quite accurate. In particular, we know that• the probability that the test result is positive (suggesting the person has the disease), given thatthe person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent;• the probability that the test result is negative (suggesting the person does not have the disease),given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent.A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is theprobability that the person has the disease?
